Great 20 minute bout. Martel starts the match like a house on fire, hip tossing Tama around with ease, hitting dropkicks and thwarting an attempted two on one attack by the Islanders. Martel then spent a good while attacking Tama’s leg, who had no answer for Martel’s persistence until he was able to throw Martel to the outside. Tama’s selling was really good for the remainder of the match, slowly whining off the effect of Martel’s heel hold. Tama uses a nerve hold which is unfortunate but they tease a few hope spots to make things interesting. The crowd is totally behind Martel, who feeds off it, making a comeback after several tries. Martel rams Tama’s head into the turnbuckles in a great revenge spot and throws Tama into Haku for an incredible false finish. The finish almost loses its way after the bell keeps getting rung prematurely but Hayes covers saying that Martel, who is on the defensive at this point, has lost his concentration only for Martel to reverse a crossbody into a cradle for the win. Great finish. ****
